Join in the conversation with Dr. Kirsty Duncan as we move from where have
we come from to where we are now and, ultimately, to how we can bring

comprehensive, equitable CCSVI assessment, treatment, and follow up to

all of Canada.

CCSVI has challenged the provincial health care systems across Canada. Looking to the federal government for
leadership and support, we were met instead with claims of a lack of

evidence, yet no willingness to immediately launch research to collect

the necessary evidence. Furthermore, every day, Canadians return home

after spending thousands of dollars abroad on treatment, not for their

MS, but for their occluded and malformed veins. Yet, still, little has

been done to track such patient experiences. Hope grows as many patients

report excellent and promising results and share their honest and

uncensored stories on Facebook, Youtube, and forums worldwide.

CCSVI has somehow become inexplicably linked to MS, which has dragged it into
the muddiness of which came first. Patients do not have time to waste

on such paradoxes. Let history be the judge of the origins of MS, but

let the doctors who can and are willing to treat venous anomalies in all

patients ~ no matter their prior diagnosis, prognosis, or symptomology ~

treat them with respect, dignity, and professionalism.

Held in the spectacular Asia Pacific Hall at the Wosk Centre for Dialogue in
downtown Vancouver, the first hour and a half will allow everyone's

voice to be heard as we move forward to solutions. This event will

conclude with a reception featuring hot and cold hors d'oeuvres and a

cash bar (wine, beer, soft drinks, juice).
